Touchdown.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb bird to watch out for the fumble.
Ruski forty nine Ers and Rams in NFC West Rhubarb
on a Thursday night. What was the most embarrassing What's
the most embarrassing part of the Rams losing his eight
and a half point home favorites against the forty nine Ers.
There were a couple of tremendous mistakes in this game.
We'll talk about that. Also was Rams coach Sean McVay
(00:25):
gutsy or goofy going forward on fourth down.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And overtime they did not get the line to gain and.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Did forty nine Ers quarterback Mac Jones just to earn
himself a new lease on life in the NFL. Or
is this a one week mirage for the Mac attack.
We'll get to that as well. Don't forget Fifth Hour

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So I've been told that people wanted to hear this.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They did.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I did a baseball rant last hour. I don't care
about the baseball. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Shut up? I'll give you to a ont dance dance,
monkey dance. All right, I'm gonna dance. I'm gonna a
train seal. I'm gonna put the damn ball on my
nose and I'm gonna dance for you with the ball
on my nose.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Are you happy a train seal?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So we head to Southern California in NFC West grudge
match that was supposed to be a mismatch, every key
indicator pointing how battered and broken the forty nine ers
were heading into the hood.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
In Inglewood and up to no good? Boy? Were they
up to no good?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
As they took on the heavily favored La Rams. This
line skyrocketed by five points. Now, you're probably not a gambler.
You might not even care about gambling. That is a
big line movement. It went from three to three and
a half to up to eight and a half points
and the game ended up going to oh for time.
If you didn't see it, maybe you're blind or you
(03:55):
just weren't into it. Eddie Pinero, remember him, the old
Bears kicker passed around hit a forty one yard field
goal in overtime that joinked off the cross for a crossbar.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
There before.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
San Francisco was about to lose anyway, and then they
stuffed Kyron Williams on fourth down with three thirty six
to play on a fourth down play and the short
handed forty nine Ers celebrating, I get it, you beat
the Rams. You should celebrate. That's a much better team
than you. And the Niners celebrated. They hung on. They
(04:29):
win by a field goal over the pathetic Rams on
Thursday night. Now, the story here is Sean McVay postgame,
who was asked about his decision. He went for it
on fourth down, it didn't work. He's getting absolutely roasted.
Sean McVay for his decision, and here's McVeigh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's like, hey, you know, you can goof on me
all you want.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Heres Sean McVay pointing out that he's the one that
left up take a list.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Thought about maybe trying to draw him off side of
took one, they took the other, And it was a
poor decision by me right there. But you know, you
give the Niners credit. They made enough plays to be
able to win the football game. We had plenty of
chances throughout this game. You know, we stayed in it.
We fought, we battled. But I'm pretty sick right now.
I'm sick of the spot that I put our group
in to end the game. But hey, these are the
(05:20):
tough beats that you got to be able to learn
from and move forward.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
And that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So that was McVeigh there. He also went on he
did purse later on in that beginning. I think that
would be a good drop. We don't usually do these anymore,
but the very beginning. Let's play this, McVeigh again, because
I think that's a quick, hot drop.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That we can use on the show, just the beginning
of that. McVeigh play that again. Let's see this.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
Thought about that's that drawm off.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Isn't that? Would that not be a great drop?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I don we don't do a lot of drops, but
that would be a that would be a great drop
because the reason I think that's a great job it's
an evergreen drop.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now what an evergreen drop is? We can use it
what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I used to do this a lot with some of
the old ancient we do out of context drops. For example,
there was a hockey coach who had one of the
all time great postgame rants. We sucked at a time
we couldn't suck, you know, and all this stuff, and uh,
we play out of context audio. So I think that
McVeigh thing would be great, Like, for example, let's do
a little game here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Let'slet's do it again real quick on the fly.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I'll be like, hey, the Dodgers are gonna lose
game one of the Phillies and Dave Roberts is gonna
make a mistake with his bullpen. So we'll say, here's
Dave Roberts Dave, can you explain what happened with your bullpen?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's a bad call.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's a bad call by me thought about it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Oh it's so good God? Is that a great drop?
We need that? Can we get that? Can get? Can
we get that? I want I need that in my life.
I need that drop in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I need that. I need that drop. All right, all right,
here's now. I like profanity. We're overnight safe harbor. I'm
reminded every time I get paid that I'm on overnights.
So let's play Sean McVay, who needs to have his
mouth washed out with soap and water.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
In hindsight, I wish I would, but uh no, we were.
We came in here to try to win the football game.
It didn't go down Forrest Garry. That was that wasn't
even a thought. But the play selection was very poor.
I'm sick right now because I put our players in
a spot, and uh I gotta live with that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
All right, Well that's the story. The better stories in
losing locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So what do you say? Let's rally around the radio here,
we'll huddle around and we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Discuss The question was very hard on himself, but was
Rams coach shaw Mvay gutsy or goofy going forward on
fourth down down by a field goal in overtime. So
my observations, I've got Farmers Market offer up and Jacouzzi
(07:44):
and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And we are going to make your.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Babushka's favorite gummy bears. That's right, your Babushka's favorite gummy bear.
So number one, number one enough, all right. So the
arrow on this one is I actually like what McVeigh did.
I clearly don't like the result, but I like that
he went for it. I like that he's gutsy and
(08:11):
I know what he's doing. He's protecting his team, right,
He's like, blame me. I'm the bad guy, you know,
I'm the one that affed up. Bad call, bad call
by me. I know what he's doing, right. But this
was not some cowards tie you know, tie ball special.
McVeigh actually had intestinal fortitude. And they didn't show this
on the Amazon broadcasts, and I wish Al Michael's had
(08:33):
shown it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He's probably back in bed there in Brentwood right now.
But if they had shown it, like, went went for it, right,
and he went down.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
McVeigh went down to the farmer's market and it turns
out that his balls are the size of cantalopes, really candalopes,
and he's I'm not living in the world where ties exist.
I don't want ties, no ties. I don't need a tie.
We had the Cowboys and the Packers tie. How much
did that suck? It was embarrassing for the NFL for
(09:02):
the product to emb Mcveigh's.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Like, no, we're gonna win the game.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're gonna wear the better team. We're gonna win the game.
I say, bravo. Now that's it again. I cannot ignore
the execution. It's like the old line from the Buccaneers
coach back in the Jay Back in the day, John
McKay said, what do you think your team's execution?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And he said, I support it. I'm in support of it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But McVeigh, like, I go through the psychology of this
stuff and am I overthinking it?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Probably? But I have a talk show to do, so
I'm probably overthinking it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But like McVeigh put the ball in Kyron Williams's hands,
the Golden Domer, and he did it for reputation, rehab.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's why he did it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The same guy who had already gagged in regulation. I
coughed up the fur ball with a a little over
a minute to go in regulation. It was like sending
the person who just dropped the wedding cake back into
the bakery to carry out the next wedding cake. Like
that's ballsy, right, that's ballsy. I mentioned balls the size
of candles. He wanted to give a confidence boost to
(10:01):
his running back. The problem the turd in the punch
bowl is the players shrank down. They had balls. The
size of chickapiece is what they had. So mcvey's got cantalopes,
they got chickapiece. Williams Now has stank all over. He
fumbled at the goal line, and then what happened in overtime?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You know what that is? That's the Chris collins Worth
double doink? Is what that is?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Doink doink, except they didn't go through the uprights. He
lost the game twice. Do you know how hard it
is for one player, when there's eleven players on the
field on both sides and special teams, for one guy
to be such a stumblebumb He lost a game.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Twice, and he's not a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You know how hard that is, you know the math
on that, the malor math, how difficult it is, Kyro Williams. Congratulations,
you get to wear the booby prize. You did it
now regardless, all right, mcvey's you know, I'm the bad
guy and all that. He's taking the bullet on that.
But it's not about the decision. It's about the result.
McVeigh tried to give this kid his redemption tor and
the kid pooped his pants.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know, it's like the kid.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know, they go number number one and then you say, okay,
well you're not gonna go number one again.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No I'm not dad, I'm not going to go number one. Mom,
I'm not gonna go number one again.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But then they went number two and you said, well
you you didn't go number one, you're right, but you
want number two.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You're not supposed to number two either. But again McVeigh,
I like it.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
He had stones, they went for it, and Williams it
turns out has stone hands.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So it's unfortunate turn of events.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Down page two, keeping the theme of the hour, going
the question here, what is the most embarrassing part of
the rams? The biggest favorite around? Biggest favorite obviously there's
a one game where the line is bigger this weekend,
but the Rams eight and that point favorites losing outright
at home to a beaten and broken forty nine er team.
(11:52):
So the answer, what's the most embarrassing thing? This is
e as y easy. They sashade their way into stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Right, and they're like, oh, we got no problem.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Kyle Shanahan is putting backups of backups in there, right,
guys who were plucked from the NFL's reject bin. And
those guys out hustled, outworked, and shoved it down your
throat the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You know, I'm not a forty nine er fan.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Or nest and you know those guys that are big
forty nine er guys on the show and they call
the show and our friend from Berkeley as well. But
listen that that's criminal. It's one thing to lose, But
all you have to do is work halfway decently.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You win the game. You have a.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Huge talent advantage. Now how do you overcome a lack
of talent? You outwork the other team. That's what the
forty nine ers did, and Sean mcvay's team acted like
all they had to do was punch the time card,
put their feet up, have a cocktail and just wait
for the time to run by and they can collect
a w and instead because of their own performance.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Where they went out there and they played like they
were soft Oi gouie football players. They had no edge,
they had no passion, they had no character, and they
got at l.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
LA thought they were scoring freebize like they were going
on that offer up app and they're like free pick
up curbside and they're like, okay, I'm gonna get that
used couch and so they showed up. They were like, okay,
this is good. I'm gonna get getting used couch off
offer up. So they went and they got it, and
it was it was nine, It was like one or
two in the morning. They picked up the couch off
offer up and it looked kind of nice and they
(13:29):
put it in the back of their truck.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
They got home, they.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Took it out, they put it up in their apartment
and it turns out it smells like cat urine.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But it was free. It was free. Yeah. Yeah. The
forty nine ers rolled out. I looked at their depth.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We handicapped the game with the Thursday night games for
Benny versus depending on YouTube, and so I was handicapping
the game. I look at everything. I was like, I
hate betting favorites. I cannot stand betting favorites. But I
looked at it, It's like, is there the only way?
Well that there were two ways the forty nine Ers
could have won this game. One of them is if
like Stafford had gotten hurt, or like a couple of
(14:03):
key players got hurt from the Rams, but that didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The other way would have been if the Rams just
go la la la la la la la la la
la la la la, don't put any effort in, and
that's what happened. I did not.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That is not a way that Sean Yavay's teams have
generally played. And the flotsam and jetsam of the forty
nine Ers, they piled up twenty seven first downs. I've
been told, I've been sold to Billy Goods about how
great the Rams defense is. Twenty seven first downs. You
gave the backups of the backups over four hundred yards of offense.
And here's the kicker, Mac Jones. Yes, Mac Jones, the
(14:41):
guy who has been terrible. Most of us get black
and blue all night and he still outplayed you. That's
like losing a karaoke contest to William Hung.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I don't even know I people know who that is anymore,
but he look him up.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But embarrassing, right, It doesn't even begin to describe what
happened there for the Rams. And it's three strikes.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You're out.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Strike one, you're lazy, okay, Strike two, you lack passion
that strike two, here's the third pitch.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Strike three, lack of character, boom done. That's it. Strike one,
strike two, strike three, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And again, if you're McVeigh, this is the stuff that
happens to other teams, this is not the stuff that
happens to MC face team.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The Rams lose games.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They normally lose because they're not as good as the
opponent in certain matchups. To lose like this. They missed
a field goal in this game. The special teams continue
to be a problem. The forty nine ers in overtime,
they got the ball because of that fugazy kickoff rule.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The idiot, I'd cut the RAM kicker. I don't care.
I don't know who's foll of those kicks up. I'd
cut him anyway. He's not even a real player the kicker.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But he didn't get the kick in the kicking zone
where it needed to go, and so the Niners took
over deep in their own territory, which made it a
short situation to get into field goal range.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And so listen, they deserve to lose.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The Rams was really just gutless the way they played
the first half. They played better after that, but you
got to play a whole game, all right. Final point,
Let's address what my friends who are forty nine er
fans are all horny for, and that is the play
of their quarterback. Did Mac Jones just earn a new
(16:20):
lease on life? Patriot trash, Jaguar trash? Did Mac Jones
just earn a new lease on life on an island game?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Or is this just a one week mirage for mac Jones?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So I'm certainly not going to overreact here and say
that this is a resurrection for Mac Jones. I'm not
going to be that guy. It was a one night pass. Congratulations, Vip.
You get behind the velvet ropes and you did that there,
and we'll see what happens going forward. Chances are he
goes back to bumming quarters like weed man, hippie at
(16:53):
the bus station. But Mac Daddy, he was in the jacuzzie, right,
he was in the dakoozie, and he took the hot tub.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Time back to.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Tusca Losa, Alabama, playing shot a smooth operator on repeat.
No stress, no mass, no stress, no mass. He carved
up the rims. I didn't think that was possible in
the first half. Now he went as good as the saying.
But the first half it was like he was at
Alabama in twenty twenty playing against Mississippi State or Auburn
(17:21):
just killing him. He actually looked like he knew what
he was doing at the NFL level.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
He was a surgeon, is what he was. Clean hands, sharp,
had a sharp scalpel, scalpel, and he didn't even sneeze.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Know in the past he'd be sneezing on the patient
while they were all cut open. Regardless of that, though,
all right, let's hold off on building a statue in
Santa Clara for Mac Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Here. What this does do, though, and this is the
part that I like as a talk show host, is
it creates a problem for brock Party. And I like that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm into that right because I was the guy barking
from the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
What are you doing? You shouldn't play rock party. He's
not that good. At course they're oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So I was that guy right, And my point was,
it's the system stupid. My point was, it's the Kyle
Shanahan coaching these guys up right, scheming these guys up.
That brock Purty is not very good, but he got
schemed up by Shanahan. You got boxed in middle Corny
had to pay him. So if my hypothesis is correct,
(18:22):
and of course nobody thinks they're wrong, So I think
my hypothesis is correct. You look at this and mac Jones,
he does have a little bit of a new lease
on life, but not a full new lease on life
just because you threw a clean game in October. But
this adds to the mythical powers of Kyle Shanahan being
a QB whisper. Also the worst big game coach in
(18:42):
NFL history. But every guy looks better in that system.
And I know John Lynch was very happy there after
the game and they were showing shots. It looked like
Robert Sally I think, had an orgasm with the thirty
five yard line, the defensive coordinator. These guys are all
fired up, But the Niners gave one hundred and eighty
one million dollars to guaranteed to Brock Purdy, who suddenly
(19:07):
doesn't look all that special compared to a scrap heap
guy who has now outplayed him this season. Mac Jones,
how does that taste that? That's a little bitter, right,
that's sweet and sour.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's more sour.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's like Brock Perdy got the Lamborghini contract. He can
buy a whole house of Lamborghinis. And then you got
mac Jones out there driving a used Corolla with two
hundred thousand miles on it. He goes out and side
by side he beats the Lamborghini in the Indy five hundred.
Now that being said, he did not play as well
Mac Jones in the second half. It was really really
(19:44):
good early a couple of touchdowns, very impressive the first half.
The numbers did do the dipsy do in the second half.
Is the game were on, but overall a net positive,
a net positive, and it doesn't mean that he's the
franchise savior. However, when Brock Party does get back on
the field, and inevitably Brock will go out there and
(20:04):
he'll cough up a hairball and then people say people
call the forty nine Ers postgame show, and then local
sports radio in the Bay Area they'll be.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Like, well, what's going on? What about Mac job? Who
are you on Mac Joe? We should play Mac Jones.

not a gambling fan, A a Bronco fan. That's a
Cooper loop. As we press on into the overnight, all
right back to it we go. Lame jokes of the
week scheduled for about an hour from now. About an
(22:50):
hour from now, we're discussing the RAM forty nine Ers
game on a Thursday night where Mac Jones looked really
good for a half, like really really.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Good for a half.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Eileen writes and says, no, She's in San Francisco, says,
I'm not worried about Mac Jones or Brock party this morning,
great game and after party. I like that old school
forty nine or logo. Oh yeah, that is a that
is a great logo.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Solid I told you the old school, Ben, I love
you o. No, I do love the old school.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And you know the Wokeshers have ruined all sports logos
like they just have I mean like the Washington Redskins
are now called the Commanders that they have like the
most generic logo. So I have some allegiances to San
Diego because I did some work down there, and I
still have a lot of friends in San Diego. And
I actually one of my first jobs in radio, I
(23:45):
was the engineer for San Diego State Men's basketball on
Co Goo in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I was the worst engineer you could possibly be.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I was so bailly.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh my god, I was horrific. They put in, well, yeah,
I just have to talk. I don't, but but they
put me in a production studio. And the worst night
I ever had as a board op was when the
Aztecs were playing Hawaii and it was late and I
was like the only guy in the building because it
was like one other there's a DJ that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Ninety one X I think it was called one of.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The rock station in San Diego. So he was the
only other person in the building and it was just
a disaster. But anyway, I'm bringing this up because the
Aztecs got rid of their They're still called the Aztecs,
but they got rid of their mascot.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Because it was offensive to the the Wolkesters. So they they.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Released three draw and obviously this more visual thing than
an audio thing, but they released three drawings of their
what's going to be their new logo right, and oh
my god, it is so bad. So they don't offend anyone,
and by not wanting to offend anyone, you create this
(24:55):
just horrific monstrosity. So there's three logos. One looks like
an as Tech like it's trying to be an Aztech.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Building because you want to.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's like the Cleveland Guardians, another team name that was
destroyed in Mascot because of the Wolkesters.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
The Cleveland Indians became the.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Guardians, which is a I'm told a bridge in Cleveland,
the Guardian statues on the bridge.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But god, this is so terrible, my god. You could
go on AI.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I don't know whatever AI you want to use, whether
it's you know, the Twitter X thing, rock or chat,
GPT or whatever you choose and come up with a
better logo within about five minutes. Then they came up
with at San Diego State. Holy crap, is that bad?
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Anyway, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It is a call in radio show, and let's say
hello eenie meenie miney mole. Let's say hello to staff
Sergeant Brian in La La Land. Hello, staff Sergeant Brian,
you are on coast to coast on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Welcome, what's up, Big Ben Mallard. This is fast, Uncle
fran Calhoun, and I am the sports genius in my
little click of friends.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
So I'd love to come in on this because I
have a lot of.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Liner friends to get all my nerves. But I got
to give them credit for what I call the classic
rivalry of coaches. Sean McVay took the Shanahan way too lightly,
and Shanahan knew it, and Shanahan gave him the battle
of a century because traditionally, if you look at these
(26:30):
two matchups, Shanahan has owned Sean McVay in most of
their meetings. And then once he got that monkey off
his back, he started to think that his dookie doesn't
stink anymore. And Shanahan said, no, it does stink, and
let me show you how bad it stinks on Thursday night.
And that's what happened tonight. Shanahan said, I'm going to
(26:52):
show you what football is all about. It's cerebral, and
I'm gonna out coach you. And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
More importantly, Brian, how did you become a genius?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who is there one of your friends said, hey, you're
a genius, Like, at what point did you get the
title sports genius?
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Well, you know what, I'm glad you asked that, Ben Mallard,
because I've been listening to you for a long time.
I got to give you a little credit there because
I've listened to your commentary. Do you make me laugh?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Sometimes you make me mad.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
I have to halfway agree with you half the time.
And then sometimes you've proven yourself to be a sports genius.
And sometimes you got to take that sound machine and
all that stuff and make some sounds because you've made
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
However, well again the key, Brian, and this is the ultimate.
Anytime something doesn't go your way, you just have to
remember at the time, at the time you made the analysis,
that was the right analysis. Now I will argue your point, Brian,
that the main reason I believe the Rams, and this
is on McVeagh. I'm not giving McVeigh pass, but the
(27:57):
reason the Rams played like that is because they bought
into the media praise. As the coaches like to say,
it's rat poison everyone and their mother. I believe the
amount of money that was on the Rams was like
eighty five ninety percent of the bets were on the
Rams because everyone just assumed the Rams just gonna show
up and win, and they didn't take the Niners seriously.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But that's on McVeigh. McVeigh.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You got to make sure your team's ready to go,
and they were not ready to play that game. And
it's a credit to Shanahan that they did shove it
down the Rams throat, So good for them.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
And oh yeah, I mean, look what I mean, how
can you comp up the ball and unbelievable? Yeah, yeah,
you get a second shot at scoring of football.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well the one at the one the one minute, a
little over a minute in regulation.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You that No, I mean, what are you doing? You
just didn't even walk it. You just hold onto it.
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I mean, I know it's not easy, but you get
paid a lot of money to hold on the ball.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Anyway, all right, I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Brad, Thank you man, I call anytime. That's a genius.
So we had an actual said that out coup on
social media. Sports genius called.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
The show a sports genius.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And now we go to the village idiot blind Scott,
who is next here on the Ben Malor Show cashing
a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
How did he get it? Okay, all right, yes, Hellott.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
I'm calling about these logos. You were calling them woke.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It's like a Guardian bridge or something.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So yeah, yeah, it's a weird thing for you to
point out.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
You are power dude in the White House. You're already
in power. Like what do you care about?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All right?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I want to it's not a political thank you, Scott.
It's not a political show. But the point is when
he's the word woke.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's you don't want to offend anyone.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Everyone's the very offensive people offended by the Cleveland Indians name.
So they there's, by the ways, a baseball team in Indianapolis,
a Triple A team called the Indianapolis Indians.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Should point that out. They just changed their their logo
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
But yeah, when you change things because you don't offend anyone,
you and up offending everyone because they're like, well, that's stupid,
that's dumb. Let's say hello to Poppy, who's gonna now
We're gonna have a Podre funeral now in San Diego.
Hello Poppy, welcome. Yeah, good job by your Padres, Poppy,
way to go, good job by the boys.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Hey Ben Maller, Yeah, we're gonna do the segment with
the a you know, and well we're not.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We're not doing that because he's not on hold. But yeah,
let's talk about your Padres. Let's talk about your Padres
because you you were talking a lot of trash, Poppy.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You were very arrogant about the Padres there.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
You're very confident in your in your boys, and how
did that work out for you?
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well, you know, it is what it is. But I
just want to, you know, say it'll be better and
a lot of base how.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Is it going to be better?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They don't play until Spring trains, they're gonna win the
Cactus League to Padres. Now, I'm gonna be positive. I'm
gonna be positive, Poppy, because you're little slow.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Are you tired of everying? Okay with you? So I'm
very tired.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Well, look, I just want to do right now.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, I'll put you back on over the lep.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I can't do the segment, not that you allow the
lepreaun to talk, but it's not here. The good news, though, Poppy,
is you had the same batting average as Jake Croninworth
in the playoffs. You had as many hits as Jake
Croninworth in the playoffs. So congratulations on that. The podres
is that zero? Uh what do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yea, yea, yeah, yeah, yea yeah yea.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right, anyway, so I mentioned this that teams he
got paid off. So the tax grab the Chicago Bears
and moving out to the suburbs in building a big
stadium at this old racetrack in the suburban area of.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Chicago, and it's a it's a cooler.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I actually have a cousin lives not far from there
in the Chicago area and it's a good, good amount
of land. And the Bears in order to build that
stadium would like to get almost one billion dollars in
taxpayer money to build a suburban stadium. They're asking for
eight hundred and fifty five million dollars out of the
(32:02):
public coffers. Yes, no, No, eight hundred and fifty five billion,
which tells you the Bears owners, I guess they don't
have that, Like the Broncos are building a stadium, but
they have Walmart money, so they don't need any public money.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They're just building it with the Walmart.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Best ownership in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That's hold off on that. But yeah, so the Broncos
are doing it that way.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
The Rams, also with Walmart money, built their stadium without
needing taxpayer money, not a billion dollars or anything like that.
So I thought that was interesting, and I hate giving
these aristocrats the taxpayer money for a football stadium.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Where they gouge you with the price of tickets and
all that. My God. Anyway, there's some other stuff. We'll
get to that.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
No merch thing, we'll push that back till later. We
have mallardly third degree. Here's the inst to trivia though
in defeat Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's the Rams quarterback.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
The sports genius who called up knows that Matthew Stafford
joined Blank as the second Rams quarterback ever to throw
for three hundred and seventy five or more yards and
three or more touchdowns and no interceptions and then lose again.
Matthew Stafford joined Blank as the second Rams quarterback ever
(33:16):

Speaker 2 (35:06):
All right, back to it, and let's pay off the
inch to trivia, and then we will get to the
somewhat popular mall or to the third degree. Here it
is Matthew Stafford for the Rams in defeat. He joined
Blank as the second Rams quarterback. Second quarterback ever to
(35:29):
throw for three hundred and seventy five second Rams quarterback
ever to throw for three hundred and seventy five yards,
three or more touchdowns and no interceptions and then end
up losing the game. It only happened one other time
in Rams history. So that is the question. What is
the answer? Warren Beatty from Shane in Des Moines, Charger

Looking forward to that to give sh There is a

Speaker 2 (36:05):

malor prop guy couldn't handle the intense overnight talk radio.
It's not easy to being a celebrity caller. We do

Competence says Jimmy Superfly Snooker. That's his answer. Jake the
Snake Roberts from rob In Lost Wages, Nevada. Sean William Scott,
(36:27):

Slunk is saying what's in the box? He wants to

Speaker 1 (36:53):
The Wingyman went with the iconic Vince Ferragamo as well.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Who else do we have? Page down? Roman Gabriel from
Johnny Q T. Green from Canuck Canuck Struck that's a
good name, Canuck Struck, that's not a bad name.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Who else do we have? Page down? Nature?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Voyce is the new Quickie AI logo for the Guardians. Yeah,
do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Lorraea? Do you have an ame. Obviously, it's Dualipa, Ben
do Alipa big star. She the biggest non Taylor Swift star,
and she's going to be in LA this weekend. Really,
where's she performing?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I think she's not so fine.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I was gonna go, but I'm going to Oregon instead.
I understand the priorities here.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Well, the correct answer, it turns out, is Austin Davis
for the Saint Louis Rams in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Austin Davis. Sheenerika, here we go Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Hey we go cool.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
Last week, you successfully predicted that Marvin Harrison Junior would
get a touchdown. Now, right after the game, he said
that it was quote good to see one go through
the hoop. Ben, Do you think last week's performance will
jump start a turnaround to his season?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
It's a one off because he played terribly in the
first half. He played well in the second half, and
that's the key thing to start him. We've learned that
from watching our sports. But just in life in general,
it's not about how much talent you have. It's about
dependability and consistency of performance, and he has not shown dependability.
He has not shown consistency. And it's not even two games,
is not He's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Do it every week.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
You gotta be consistent, and I have not seen that
from Marvin Harrison Junior yet. So I'm not expecting that
all of a sudden to turn around for the Cardinals,
especially with Alligator Arms Murray as the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Next, there are some speculating that the Dolphins could raise
the white flag on this season after Tyreek Hill in
Tyreek Hill's injury and could even shop around von A
chain Ben. Do you think Miami will go full fire sale, No,
because they don't.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Do that other than the Browns. It's not like, you know,
nobody's untouchable. They'll make some trades, things will be marked
down there, but they're not gonna have a bom on
fire out on the beach in Miami and say, all right,
this is burned the entire thing down. So that's not
gonna happen, and they should win. This weekend, the Dolphins
play Carolina, so there you go. There, they win that game,
(39:12):
and you're always kind of a fringe wildcard contender at
that point.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Next, Pooka Nakua has started the season off on a
historic pace and would shatter receiving records if he keeps
it up. He had at a decent game last night.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Had ten catches.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Yeah, Ben, this pace will be hard to maintain. But
do you think we can call Nakua the best wide
receiver in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Absolutely cool, because, as you know, the term best means
as good as all the rest, so he is as
good as any other receiver in the NFL. More importantly,
he's the number one receiver on the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Pooka Nakua. I love the guy.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I can't believe he was draft from the fifth round
and it proves nobody knows anything in the NFL draft.
And I don't know why he will watch the draft.
It's all bull craft. If Pooka Nakua can be drafted
in the fifth round or whatever, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
The guy's a total stud.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Love the guy. He's a great player, and I don't
know how he ended up with the Rams, but it's
I'm happy that he did. But yeah, he's as good
as anyone else in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
How do we do you pass this edition? I hated
the week with a win. I Won, I'm a
Touchdown.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb bird to watch out for the fumble.
Ruski forty nine Ers and Rams in NFC West Rhubarb
on a Thursday night. What was the most embarrassing What's
the most embarrassing part of the Rams losing his eight
and a half point home favorites against the forty nine Ers.
There were a couple of tremendous mistakes in this game.
We'll talk about that. Also was Rams coach Sean McVay
(00:25):
gutsy or goofy going forward on fourth down.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And overtime they did not get the line to gain and.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Did forty nine Ers quarterback Mac Jones just to earn
himself a new lease on life in the NFL. Or
is this a one week mirage for the Mac attack.
We'll get to that as well. Don't forget Fifth Hour
podcast in addition to this, later today, listen to the
Fifth Hour podcast with me and Danny g that'll be
available for you a little bit later today.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Here it is our number two.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, it turns out you can ram it all day,
you can ram it all night in.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Appair, you can ram the football out of the dumbass
running backs hands.
Speaker 2 (01:04):

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So I've been told that people wanted to hear this.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They did.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I did a baseball rant last hour. I don't care
about the baseball. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Shut up? I'll give you to a ont dance dance,
monkey dance. All right, I'm gonna dance. I'm gonna a
train seal. I'm gonna put the damn ball on my
nose and I'm gonna dance for you with the ball
on my nose.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Are you happy a train seal?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So we head to Southern California in NFC West grudge
match that was supposed to be a mismatch, every key
indicator pointing how battered and broken the forty nine ers
were heading into the hood.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
In Inglewood and up to no good? Boy? Were they
up to no good?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
As they took on the heavily favored La Rams. This
line skyrocketed by five points. Now, you're probably not a gambler.
You might not even care about gambling. That is a
big line movement. It went from three to three and
a half to up to eight and a half points
and the game ended up going to oh for time.
If you didn't see it, maybe you're blind or you
(03:55):
just weren't into it. Eddie Pinero, remember him, the old
Bears kicker passed around hit a forty one yard field
goal in overtime that joinked off the cross for a crossbar.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
There before.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
San Francisco was about to lose anyway, and then they
stuffed Kyron Williams on fourth down with three thirty six
to play on a fourth down play and the short
handed forty nine Ers celebrating, I get it, you beat
the Rams. You should celebrate. That's a much better team
than you. And the Niners celebrated. They hung on. They
(04:29):
win by a field goal over the pathetic Rams on
Thursday night. Now, the story here is Sean McVay postgame,
who was asked about his decision. He went for it
on fourth down, it didn't work. He's getting absolutely roasted.
Sean McVay for his decision, and here's McVeigh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's like, hey, you know, you can goof on me
all you want.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Heres Sean McVay pointing out that he's the one that
left up take a list.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Thought about maybe trying to draw him off side of
took one, they took the other, And it was a
poor decision by me right there. But you know, you
give the Niners credit. They made enough plays to be
able to win the football game. We had plenty of
chances throughout this game. You know, we stayed in it.
We fought, we battled. But I'm pretty sick right now.
I'm sick of the spot that I put our group
in to end the game. But hey, these are the
(05:20):
tough beats that you got to be able to learn
from and move forward.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
And that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So that was McVeigh there. He also went on he
did purse later on in that beginning. I think that
would be a good drop. We don't usually do these anymore,
but the very beginning. Let's play this, McVeigh again, because
I think that's a quick, hot drop.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That we can use on the show, just the beginning
of that. McVeigh play that again. Let's see this.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
Thought about that's that drawm off.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Isn't that? Would that not be a great drop?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I don we don't do a lot of drops, but
that would be a that would be a great drop
because the reason I think that's a great job it's
an evergreen drop.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now what an evergreen drop is? We can use it
what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I used to do this a lot with some of
the old ancient we do out of context drops. For example,
there was a hockey coach who had one of the
all time great postgame rants. We sucked at a time
we couldn't suck, you know, and all this stuff, and uh,
we play out of context audio. So I think that
McVeigh thing would be great, Like, for example, let's do
a little game here.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Let'slet's do it again real quick on the fly.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I'll be like, hey, the Dodgers are gonna lose
game one of the Phillies and Dave Roberts is gonna
make a mistake with his bullpen. So we'll say, here's
Dave Roberts Dave, can you explain what happened with your bullpen?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's a bad call.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's a bad call by me thought about it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Oh it's so good God? Is that a great drop?
We need that? Can we get that? Can get? Can
we get that? I want I need that in my life.
I need that drop in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I need that. I need that drop. All right, all right,
here's now. I like profanity. We're overnight safe harbor. I'm
reminded every time I get paid that I'm on overnights.
So let's play Sean McVay, who needs to have his
mouth washed out with soap and water.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
In hindsight, I wish I would, but uh no, we were.
We came in here to try to win the football game.
It didn't go down Forrest Garry. That was that wasn't
even a thought. But the play selection was very poor.
I'm sick right now because I put our players in
a spot, and uh I gotta live with that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
All right, Well that's the story. The better stories in
losing locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So what do you say? Let's rally around the radio here,
we'll huddle around and we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Discuss The question was very hard on himself, but was
Rams coach shaw Mvay gutsy or goofy going forward on
fourth down down by a field goal in overtime. So
my observations, I've got Farmers Market offer up and Jacouzzi
(07:44):
and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And we are going to make your.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Babushka's favorite gummy bears. That's right, your Babushka's favorite gummy bear.
So number one, number one enough, all right. So the
arrow on this one is I actually like what McVeigh did.
I clearly don't like the result, but I like that
he went for it. I like that he's gutsy and
(08:11):
I know what he's doing. He's protecting his team, right,
He's like, blame me. I'm the bad guy, you know,
I'm the one that affed up. Bad call, bad call
by me. I know what he's doing, right. But this
was not some cowards tie you know, tie ball special.
McVeigh actually had intestinal fortitude. And they didn't show this
on the Amazon broadcasts, and I wish Al Michael's had
(08:33):
shown it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He's probably back in bed there in Brentwood right now.
But if they had shown it, like, went went for it, right,
and he went down.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
McVeigh went down to the farmer's market and it turns
out that his balls are the size of cantalopes, really candalopes,
and he's I'm not living in the world where ties exist.
I don't want ties, no ties. I don't need a tie.
We had the Cowboys and the Packers tie. How much
did that suck? It was embarrassing for the NFL for
(09:02):
the product to emb Mcveigh's.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Like, no, we're gonna win the game.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're gonna wear the better team. We're gonna win the game.
I say, bravo. Now that's it again. I cannot ignore
the execution. It's like the old line from the Buccaneers
coach back in the Jay Back in the day, John
McKay said, what do you think your team's execution?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And he said, I support it. I'm in support of it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But McVeigh, like, I go through the psychology of this
stuff and am I overthinking it?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Probably? But I have a talk show to do, so
I'm probably overthinking it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But like McVeigh put the ball in Kyron Williams's hands,
the Golden Domer, and he did it for reputation, rehab.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's why he did it.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The same guy who had already gagged in regulation. I
coughed up the fur ball with a a little over
a minute to go in regulation. It was like sending
the person who just dropped the wedding cake back into
the bakery to carry out the next wedding cake. Like
that's ballsy, right, that's ballsy. I mentioned balls the size
of candles. He wanted to give a confidence boost to
(10:01):
his running back. The problem the turd in the punch
bowl is the players shrank down. They had balls. The
size of chickapiece is what they had. So mcvey's got cantalopes,
they got chickapiece. Williams Now has stank all over. He
fumbled at the goal line, and then what happened in overtime?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You know what that is? That's the Chris collins Worth
double doink? Is what that is?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Doink doink, except they didn't go through the uprights. He
lost the game twice. Do you know how hard it
is for one player, when there's eleven players on the
field on both sides and special teams, for one guy
to be such a stumblebumb He lost a game.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Twice, and he's not a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You know how hard that is, you know the math
on that, the malor math, how difficult it is, Kyro Williams. Congratulations,
you get to wear the booby prize. You did it
now regardless, all right, mcvey's you know, I'm the bad
guy and all that. He's taking the bullet on that.
But it's not about the decision. It's about the result.
McVeigh tried to give this kid his redemption tor and
the kid pooped his pants.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know, it's like the kid.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know, they go number number one and then you say, okay,
well you're not gonna go number one again.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No I'm not dad, I'm not going to go number one. Mom,
I'm not gonna go number one again.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But then they went number two and you said, well
you you didn't go number one, you're right, but you
want number two.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You're not supposed to number two either. But again McVeigh,
I like it.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
He had stones, they went for it, and Williams it
turns out has stone hands.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So it's unfortunate turn of events.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Down page two, keeping the theme of the hour, going
the question here, what is the most embarrassing part of
the rams? The biggest favorite around? Biggest favorite obviously there's
a one game where the line is bigger this weekend,
but the Rams eight and that point favorites losing outright
at home to a beaten and broken forty nine er team.
(11:52):
So the answer, what's the most embarrassing thing? This is
e as y easy. They sashade their way into stadium.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Right, and they're like, oh, we got no problem.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Kyle Shanahan is putting backups of backups in there, right,
guys who were plucked from the NFL's reject bin. And
those guys out hustled, outworked, and shoved it down your
throat the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You know, I'm not a forty nine er fan.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Or nest and you know those guys that are big
forty nine er guys on the show and they call
the show and our friend from Berkeley as well. But
listen that that's criminal. It's one thing to lose, But
all you have to do is work halfway decently.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You win the game. You have a.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Huge talent advantage. Now how do you overcome a lack
of talent? You outwork the other team. That's what the
forty nine ers did, and Sean mcvay's team acted like
all they had to do was punch the time card,
put their feet up, have a cocktail and just wait
for the time to run by and they can collect
a w and instead because of their own performance.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Where they went out there and they played like they
were soft Oi gouie football players. They had no edge,
they had no passion, they had no character, and they
got at l.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
LA thought they were scoring freebize like they were going
on that offer up app and they're like free pick
up curbside and they're like, okay, I'm gonna get that
used couch and so they showed up. They were like, okay,
this is good. I'm gonna get getting used couch off
offer up. So they went and they got it, and
it was it was nine, It was like one or
two in the morning. They picked up the couch off
offer up and it looked kind of nice and they
(13:29):
put it in the back of their truck.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
They got home, they.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Took it out, they put it up in their apartment
and it turns out it smells like cat urine.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But it was free. It was free. Yeah. Yeah. The
forty nine ers rolled out. I looked at their depth.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We handicapped the game with the Thursday night games for
Benny versus depending on YouTube, and so I was handicapping
the game. I look at everything. I was like, I
hate betting favorites. I cannot stand betting favorites. But I
looked at it, It's like, is there the only way?
Well that there were two ways the forty nine Ers
could have won this game. One of them is if
like Stafford had gotten hurt, or like a couple of
(14:03):
key players got hurt from the Rams, but that didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The other way would have been if the Rams just
go la la la la la la la la la
la la la la, don't put any effort in, and
that's what happened. I did not.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That is not a way that Sean Yavay's teams have
generally played. And the flotsam and jetsam of the forty
nine Ers, they piled up twenty seven first downs. I've
been told, I've been sold to Billy Goods about how
great the Rams defense is. Twenty seven first downs. You
gave the backups of the backups over four hundred yards of offense.
And here's the kicker, Mac Jones. Yes, Mac Jones, the
(14:41):
guy who has been terrible. Most of us get black
and blue all night and he still outplayed you. That's
like losing a karaoke contest to William Hung.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I don't even know I people know who that is anymore,
but he look him up.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But embarrassing, right, It doesn't even begin to describe what
happened there for the Rams. And it's three strikes.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You're out.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Strike one, you're lazy, okay, Strike two, you lack passion
that strike two, here's the third pitch.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Strike three, lack of character, boom done. That's it. Strike one,
strike two, strike three, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And again, if you're McVeigh, this is the stuff that
happens to other teams, this is not the stuff that
happens to MC face team.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The Rams lose games.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They normally lose because they're not as good as the
opponent in certain matchups. To lose like this. They missed
a field goal in this game. The special teams continue
to be a problem. The forty nine ers in overtime,
they got the ball because of that fugazy kickoff rule.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The idiot, I'd cut the RAM kicker. I don't care.
I don't know who's foll of those kicks up. I'd
cut him anyway. He's not even a real player the kicker.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But he didn't get the kick in the kicking zone
where it needed to go, and so the Niners took
over deep in their own territory, which made it a
short situation to get into field goal range.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And so listen, they deserve to lose.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The Rams was really just gutless the way they played
the first half. They played better after that, but you
got to play a whole game, all right. Final point,
Let's address what my friends who are forty nine er
fans are all horny for, and that is the play
of their quarterback. Did Mac Jones just earn a new
(16:20):
lease on life? Patriot trash, Jaguar trash? Did Mac Jones
just earn a new lease on life on an island game?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Or is this just a one week mirage for mac Jones?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So I'm certainly not going to overreact here and say
that this is a resurrection for Mac Jones. I'm not
going to be that guy. It was a one night pass. Congratulations, Vip.
You get behind the velvet ropes and you did that there,
and we'll see what happens going forward. Chances are he
goes back to bumming quarters like weed man, hippie at
(16:53):
the bus station. But Mac Daddy, he was in the jacuzzie, right,
he was in the dakoozie, and he took the hot tub.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Time back to.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Tusca Losa, Alabama, playing shot a smooth operator on repeat.
No stress, no mass, no stress, no mass. He carved
up the rims. I didn't think that was possible in
the first half. Now he went as good as the saying.
But the first half it was like he was at
Alabama in twenty twenty playing against Mississippi State or Auburn
(17:21):
just killing him. He actually looked like he knew what
he was doing at the NFL level.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
He was a surgeon, is what he was. Clean hands, sharp,
had a sharp scalpel, scalpel, and he didn't even sneeze.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Know in the past he'd be sneezing on the patient
while they were all cut open. Regardless of that, though,
all right, let's hold off on building a statue in
Santa Clara for Mac Jones.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Here. What this does do, though, and this is the
part that I like as a talk show host, is
it creates a problem for brock Party. And I like that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm into that right because I was the guy barking
from the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
What are you doing? You shouldn't play rock party. He's
not that good. At course they're oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So I was that guy right, And my point was,
it's the system stupid. My point was, it's the Kyle
Shanahan coaching these guys up right, scheming these guys up.
That brock Purty is not very good, but he got
schemed up by Shanahan. You got boxed in middle Corny
had to pay him. So if my hypothesis is correct,
(18:22):
and of course nobody thinks they're wrong, So I think
my hypothesis is correct. You look at this and mac Jones,
he does have a little bit of a new lease
on life, but not a full new lease on life
just because you threw a clean game in October. But
this adds to the mythical powers of Kyle Shanahan being
a QB whisper. Also the worst big game coach in
(18:42):
NFL history. But every guy looks better in that system.
And I know John Lynch was very happy there after
the game and they were showing shots. It looked like
Robert Sally I think, had an orgasm with the thirty
five yard line, the defensive coordinator. These guys are all
fired up, But the Niners gave one hundred and eighty
one million dollars to guaranteed to Brock Purdy, who suddenly
(19:07):
doesn't look all that special compared to a scrap heap
guy who has now outplayed him this season. Mac Jones,
how does that taste that? That's a little bitter, right,
that's sweet and sour.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's more sour.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's like Brock Perdy got the Lamborghini contract. He can
buy a whole house of Lamborghinis. And then you got
mac Jones out there driving a used Corolla with two
hundred thousand miles on it. He goes out and side
by side he beats the Lamborghini in the Indy five hundred.
Now that being said, he did not play as well
Mac Jones in the second half. It was really really
(19:44):
good early a couple of touchdowns, very impressive the first half.
The numbers did do the dipsy do in the second half.
Is the game were on, but overall a net positive,
a net positive, and it doesn't mean that he's the
franchise savior. However, when Brock Party does get back on
the field, and inevitably Brock will go out there and
(20:04):
he'll cough up a hairball and then people say people
call the forty nine Ers postgame show, and then local
sports radio in the Bay Area they'll be.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Like, well, what's going on? What about Mac job? Who
are you on Mac Joe? We should play Mac Jones.

right back to it we go. Lame jokes of the
week scheduled for about an hour from now. About an
(22:50):
hour from now, we're discussing the RAM forty nine Ers
game on a Thursday night where Mac Jones looked really
good for a half, like really really.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Good for a half.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Eileen writes and says, no, She's in San Francisco, says,
I'm not worried about Mac Jones or Brock party this morning,
great game and after party. I like that old school
forty nine or logo. Oh yeah, that is a that
is a great logo.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Solid I told you the old school, Ben, I love
you o. No, I do love the old school.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And you know the Wokeshers have ruined all sports logos
like they just have I mean like the Washington Redskins
are now called the Commanders that they have like the
most generic logo. So I have some allegiances to San
Diego because I did some work down there, and I
still have a lot of friends in San Diego. And
I actually one of my first jobs in radio, I
(23:45):
was the engineer for San Diego State Men's basketball on
Co Goo in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I was the worst engineer you could possibly be.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I was so bailly.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh my god, I was horrific. They put in, well, yeah,
I just have to talk. I don't, but but they
put me in a production studio. And the worst night
I ever had as a board op was when the
Aztecs were playing Hawaii and it was late and I
was like the only guy in the building because it
was like one other there's a DJ that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Ninety one X I think it was called one of.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The rock station in San Diego. So he was the
only other person in the building and it was just
a disaster. But anyway, I'm bringing this up because the
Aztecs got rid of their They're still called the Aztecs,
but they got rid of their mascot.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Because it was offensive to the the Wolkesters. So they they.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Released three draw and obviously this more visual thing than
an audio thing, but they released three drawings of their
what's going to be their new logo right, and oh
my god, it is so bad. So they don't offend anyone,
and by not wanting to offend anyone, you create this
(24:55):
just horrific monstrosity. So there's three logos. One looks like
an as Tech like it's trying to be an Aztech.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Building because you want to.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's like the Cleveland Guardians, another team name that was
destroyed in Mascot because of the Wolkesters.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
The Cleveland Indians became the.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Guardians, which is a I'm told a bridge in Cleveland,
the Guardian statues on the bridge.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But god, this is so terrible, my god. You could
go on AI.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I don't know whatever AI you want to use, whether
it's you know, the Twitter X thing, rock or chat,
GPT or whatever you choose and come up with a
better logo within about five minutes. Then they came up
with at San Diego State. Holy crap, is that bad?
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Anyway, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It is a call in radio show, and let's say
hello eenie meenie miney mole. Let's say hello to staff
Sergeant Brian in La La Land. Hello, staff Sergeant Brian,
you are on coast to coast on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Welcome, what's up, Big Ben Mallard. This is fast, Uncle
fran Calhoun, and I am the sports genius in my
little click of friends.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
So I'd love to come in on this because I
have a lot of.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Liner friends to get all my nerves. But I got
to give them credit for what I call the classic
rivalry of coaches. Sean McVay took the Shanahan way too lightly,
and Shanahan knew it, and Shanahan gave him the battle
of a century because traditionally, if you look at these
(26:30):
two matchups, Shanahan has owned Sean McVay in most of
their meetings. And then once he got that monkey off
his back, he started to think that his dookie doesn't
stink anymore. And Shanahan said, no, it does stink, and
let me show you how bad it stinks on Thursday night.
And that's what happened tonight. Shanahan said, I'm going to
(26:52):
show you what football is all about. It's cerebral, and
I'm gonna out coach you. And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
More importantly, Brian, how did you become a genius?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Who is there one of your friends said, hey, you're
a genius, Like, at what point did you get the
title sports genius?
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Well, you know what, I'm glad you asked that, Ben Mallard,
because I've been listening to you for a long time.
I got to give you a little credit there because
I've listened to your commentary. Do you make me laugh?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Sometimes you make me mad.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
I have to halfway agree with you half the time.
And then sometimes you've proven yourself to be a sports genius.
And sometimes you got to take that sound machine and
all that stuff and make some sounds because you've made
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
However, well again the key, Brian, and this is the ultimate.
Anytime something doesn't go your way, you just have to
remember at the time, at the time you made the analysis,
that was the right analysis. Now I will argue your point, Brian,
that the main reason I believe the Rams, and this
is on McVeagh. I'm not giving McVeigh pass, but the
(27:57):
reason the Rams played like that is because they bought
into the media praise. As the coaches like to say,
it's rat poison everyone and their mother. I believe the
amount of money that was on the Rams was like
eighty five ninety percent of the bets were on the
Rams because everyone just assumed the Rams just gonna show
up and win, and they didn't take the Niners seriously.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But that's on McVeigh. McVeigh.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You got to make sure your team's ready to go,
and they were not ready to play that game. And
it's a credit to Shanahan that they did shove it
down the Rams throat, So good for them.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
And oh yeah, I mean, look what I mean, how
can you comp up the ball and unbelievable? Yeah, yeah,
you get a second shot at scoring of football.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well the one at the one the one minute, a
little over a minute in regulation.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You that No, I mean, what are you doing? You
just didn't even walk it. You just hold onto it.
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I mean, I know it's not easy, but you get
paid a lot of money to hold on the ball.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Anyway, all right, I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Brad, Thank you man, I call anytime. That's a genius.
So we had an actual said that out coup on
social media. Sports genius called.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
The show a sports genius.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And now we go to the village idiot blind Scott,
who is next here on the Ben Malor Show cashing
a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
How did he get it? Okay, all right, yes, Hellott.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
I'm calling about these logos. You were calling them woke.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It's like a Guardian bridge or something.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So yeah, yeah, it's a weird thing for you to
point out.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
You are power dude in the White House. You're already
in power. Like what do you care about?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All right?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I want to it's not a political thank you, Scott.
It's not a political show. But the point is when
he's the word woke.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's you don't want to offend anyone.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Everyone's the very offensive people offended by the Cleveland Indians name.
So they there's, by the ways, a baseball team in Indianapolis,
a Triple A team called the Indianapolis Indians.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Should point that out. They just changed their their logo
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
But yeah, when you change things because you don't offend anyone,
you and up offending everyone because they're like, well, that's stupid,
that's dumb. Let's say hello to Poppy, who's gonna now
We're gonna have a Podre funeral now in San Diego.
Hello Poppy, welcome. Yeah, good job by your Padres, Poppy,
way to go, good job by the boys.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Hey Ben Maller, Yeah, we're gonna do the segment with
the a you know, and well we're not.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We're not doing that because he's not on hold. But yeah,
let's talk about your Padres. Let's talk about your Padres
because you you were talking a lot of trash, Poppy.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You were very arrogant about the Padres there.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
You're very confident in your in your boys, and how
did that work out for you?
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well, you know, it is what it is. But I
just want to, you know, say it'll be better and
a lot of base how.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Is it going to be better?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They don't play until Spring trains, they're gonna win the
Cactus League to Padres. Now, I'm gonna be positive. I'm
gonna be positive, Poppy, because you're little slow.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Are you tired of everying? Okay with you? So I'm
very tired.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Well, look, I just want to do right now.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, I'll put you back on over the lep.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I can't do the segment, not that you allow the
lepreaun to talk, but it's not here. The good news, though, Poppy,
is you had the same batting average as Jake Croninworth
in the playoffs. You had as many hits as Jake
Croninworth in the playoffs. So congratulations on that. The podres
is that zero? Uh what do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yea, yea, yeah, yeah, yea yeah yea.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right, anyway, so I mentioned this that teams he
got paid off. So the tax grab the Chicago Bears
and moving out to the suburbs in building a big
stadium at this old racetrack in the suburban area of.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Chicago, and it's a it's a cooler.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I actually have a cousin lives not far from there
in the Chicago area and it's a good, good amount
of land. And the Bears in order to build that
stadium would like to get almost one billion dollars in
taxpayer money to build a suburban stadium. They're asking for
eight hundred and fifty five million dollars out of the
(32:02):
public coffers. Yes, no, No, eight hundred and fifty five billion,
which tells you the Bears owners, I guess they don't
have that, Like the Broncos are building a stadium, but
they have Walmart money, so they don't need any public money.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They're just building it with the Walmart.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Best ownership in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That's hold off on that. But yeah, so the Broncos
are doing it that way.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
The Rams, also with Walmart money, built their stadium without
needing taxpayer money, not a billion dollars or anything like that.
So I thought that was interesting, and I hate giving
these aristocrats the taxpayer money for a football stadium.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Where they gouge you with the price of tickets and
all that. My God. Anyway, there's some other stuff. We'll
get to that.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
No merch thing, we'll push that back till later. We
have mallardly third degree. Here's the inst to trivia though
in defeat Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (32:52):

joined Blank as the second Rams quarterback ever to throw
for three hundred and seventy five or more yards and
three or more touchdowns and no interceptions and then lose again.

Blank as the second Rams quarterback. Second quarterback ever to
(35:29):
throw for three hundred and seventy five second Rams quarterback
ever to throw for three hundred and seventy five yards,
three or more touchdowns and no interceptions and then end
up losing the game. It only happened one other time

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Who else do we have? Page down? Nature?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Voyce is the new Quickie AI logo for the Guardians. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Lorraea? Do you have an ame. Obviously, it's Dualipa, Ben
do Alipa big star. She the biggest non Taylor Swift star,
and she's going to be in LA this weekend. Really,
where's she performing?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I think she's not so fine.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I was gonna go, but I'm going to Oregon instead.
I understand the priorities here.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Well, the correct answer, it turns out, is Austin Davis
for the Saint Louis Rams in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Austin Davis. Sheenerika, here we go Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Hey we go cool.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
Last week, you successfully predicted that Marvin Harrison Junior would
get a touchdown. Now, right after the game, he said
that it was quote good to see one go through
the hoop. Ben, Do you think last week's performance will
jump start a turnaround to his season?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
It's a one off because he played terribly in the
first half. He played well in the second half, and
that's the key thing to start him. We've learned that
from watching our sports. But just in life in general,
it's not about how much talent you have. It's about
dependability and consistency of performance, and he has not shown dependability.
He has not shown consistency. And it's not even two games,
is not He's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Do it every week.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
You gotta be consistent, and I have not seen that
from Marvin Harrison Junior yet. So I'm not expecting that
all of a sudden to turn around for the Cardinals,
especially with Alligator Arms Murray as the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Next, there are some speculating that the Dolphins could raise
the white flag on this season after Tyreek Hill in
Tyreek Hill's injury and could even shop around von A
chain Ben. Do you think Miami will go full fire sale, No,
because they don't.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Do that other than the Browns. It's not like, you know,
nobody's untouchable. They'll make some trades, things will be marked
down there, but they're not gonna have a bom on
fire out on the beach in Miami and say, all right,
this is burned the entire thing down. So that's not
gonna happen, and they should win. This weekend, the Dolphins
play Carolina, so there you go. There, they win that game,
(39:12):
and you're always kind of a fringe wildcard contender at
that point.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Next, Pooka Nakua has started the season off on a
historic pace and would shatter receiving records if he keeps
it up. He had at a decent game last night.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Had ten catches.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Yeah, Ben, this pace will be hard to maintain. But
do you think we can call Nakua the best wide
receiver in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Absolutely cool, because, as you know, the term best means
as good as all the rest, so he is as
good as any other receiver in the NFL. More importantly,
he's the number one receiver on the La Rams.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Pooka Nakua. I love the guy.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I can't believe he was draft from the fifth round
and it proves nobody knows anything in the NFL draft.
And I don't know why he will watch the draft.
It's all bull craft. If Pooka Nakua can be drafted
in the fifth round or whatever, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
The guy's a total stud.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Love the guy. He's a great player, and I don't
know how he ended up with the Rams, but it's
I'm happy that he did. But yeah, he's as good
as anyone else in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
How do we do you pass this edition? I hated
the week with a win. I Won, I'm a

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
